What do the Warning Lights in my Honda mean?

Depending on the Color of the light, you can treat them similar to a stop light. Green for no issues at all, yellow for something to keep track of for future issues, and red for something that needs immediate attention. Though we see a lot of green on our dashboards, keeping an eye out for Yellow and Red Warning Lights can save time and future visits for potential damage on your Honda Vehicle.
